Genshin Impact 3.7 has introduced the rerun banner for Yoimiya, along with her signature weapon, Thundering Pulse. Although the BiS is for Yoimiya, the bow can also be a great option for other characters.
With the arrival of version 3.7, players can now experience the highly anticipated rerun banner featuring Yoimiya, the fiery archer, alongside her exclusive weapon, Thundering Pulse. While Yoimiya undoubtedly shines with Thundering Pulse as her best-in-slot (BiS) weapon, other characters with a focus on DPS damage can also capitalize on its benefits, amplifying their damage potential.
From the electrifying prowess of Tartaglia’s hydro-infused onslaughts to Ganyu’s icy barrages, the versatile Thundering Pulse bow opens up new avenues for various characters, making it a coveted choice beyond Yoimiya herself. The following section mentions more details about the formidable weapon in version 3.7 and its best bearers.
Best characters to wield the Thundering Pulse bow in Genshin Impact
The Thundering Pulse provides a whopping CRIT DMG substat of 66.2% at level 90 and a high base attack as a five-star weapon. It also gives a 20% ATK and Normal Attack DMG buff with its passive, making it one of the best DPS bows.
The best characters besides Yoimiya who can use the Thundering Pulse are:
Tartaglia
Despite being an old unit in the game, Tartaglia’s playstyle remains to be one of the most unique where he can change his stance from regular bow to melee. Also, he is a great DPS who relies on his Normal Attack in his melee mode. As such, he needs a ton of CRIT on his weapons and artifacts. The Thundering Pulse covers a great deal of CRIT DMG, leaving only CRIT Rate to be majorly covered by his Artifacts, making the farming process easier.
Ganyu
Ganyu is another great DPS bow-wielder in Genshin Impact who can utilize the Thundering Pulse. Although there are other options like the Amos Bow which can help boost her charged attacks, the Thundering Pulse is a notable option for her as it gives a significant DMG boost with its high base ATK and CRIT. The weapon can also be a good option for certain teams which utilize her burst.
Fischl
Fischl, although primarily used as a support in Genshin Impact, can also be a good wielder of the Thundering Pulse as a sub-DPS or main DPS, depending on the playstyle. Several teams which don’t utilize a reaction-based Fischl can have Thundering Pulse on her as a nice option. The main challenge here is the buffing of arrow attacks instead of Oz, which many players don’t prefer.
The Thundering Pulse proves to be a valuable weapon choice for numerous existing characters. Nevertheless, it would be prudent to keep an eye out for future character releases that may be better suited to wield this weapon. It is important to consider the evolving roster of characters and their abilities before making a final decision on weapon allocation.
Moreover, the weapon continues to be the best for Yoimiya. To read more about Yoimiya’s best builds in v3.7, click here.
